I have read to avoid headsets and go for headphones. Although user reviews on headsets seem to be good! I was going to wait it out longer to decide but a 'Used - very good' condition Sony MDRMA900 came up on amazon warehouse for half the price of a new set... Thought with their return policy...

I'll take a look, thanks for the recommendation. Seems to have good reviews, although I haven't found much on gaming

You can't be any less pro than me don't worry :D thanks for your input, can give the 558 's a plus one I considered the Pc 360 but I heard it's pretty much the 558 with a mic? And it's about £60 more expensive

Hi, Most of the information I read regarding audio was from here, so thought it would be good to ask this here. Sennheiser 558 vs. Sony MDR-MA900 vs. Beyerdynamic DT990 pro 250ohm Usage: Gaming mostly, then films. Music is not a priority although I will likely use them a little if they are...
